Jim Gettys famously laid down some principles for X11 development,
number 1 and 3 of which are:
1.Do not add new functionality unless an implementor cannot
complete a real application without it.
3.The only thing worse than generalizing from one example
is generalizing from no examples at all.
Do we have two examples of what it is that somebody cannot do (in a
reasonable way?) without UTF-8 header values ?
